Top of the World!

July 27th to July 29th, 2018 – When Pete invites you on a bikepacking trip you can expect two things: It’s going to rain. The route will be a gem. So when Pete, Erin, Grete and I planned a long weekend adventure up into Canada we had an idea of what we were getting into… […]

Oops! Another Winter Flew By…

Winter 2017/2018 – Ahhhhh schucks, I lost track of time and forgot to update the website with some of the adventures from this last winter. For the sake of escapism (from the July heat), here is a bunch of photos and some brief descriptions from some of last winter’s wanderings! First off the press is […]

The Lovely Month of September

9/3 to 9/20/2016 – Suddenly it was September, and the long, warm days of summer quickly transitioned into crisp and ever-shortening days of autumn.  With this change in season, came a renewed vigor for the outdoors (because fall is the BEST time of year to play in the mountains). Grete and I joined a large […]

The Red Meadow 100(ish)

6/12 to 6/13/2016 – Another overnighter bikepacking trip from earlier this summer was this excellent trip with both Grete and Burket!  Grete and I were itching to get out on our beloved tandem and Burket was needing to break in his new (to him) Karate Monkey so we loaded them up and headed out! We […]

The Island Lake Loop

5/29 to 5/30, 2016 – Earlier in the summer, I had the opportunity to get out on a couple of sweet overnighter bike rides.  Of course the photos are a couple months late, but here is another quick posting! This lovely little loop ride travels from Whitefish and wanders along mostly dirt backroads out to Island Lake, then […]

The Yoho Traverse

3/22 to 3/25/2016 – Being that we live so close to the border, Grete and I had a major Canadian itch to scratch this last ski season.  We wanted to get our feet wet with Canadian ski traversing and hoped to get to see some gigantic glaciers too!  Thankfully, we had friends (Anthony and Becca) […]

Mid-Winter Goodness

2/1 to 3/13/16 – Again, I’ve gotten behind on the blog.  The reason for this delay is that good friends, plentiful adventures and great weather have forced me outside and away from my computer… schucks! Well, here goes another little posting about a whole bunch of wonderful wanderings out in the woods from mid-season this […]

Winter So Far…

12/1/2015 to 1/31/2016 – It was a mighty unusual transition back from Costa Rica’s hot, humid,  sun-filled tropical climate to NW Montana’s cold, grey, snow-filled winter one… but we were really excited to be home again.  We were easily distracted from our climatic concerns by the thing we missed the most while adventuring: our beloved big white […]

Costa Rica Luna de Miel

11/05 to 11/23/2015 – “MUCHOS GRACIAS POR FAVOR…” I repeated over and over to the friendly local farmer who was wading thigh-deep across the Bongo River with our tandem on his back… This only continued my spiral deep into being clearly identified as the dumb gringo tourist on an odd-ball “bicycleta grande” with his beautiful, much more bilingual, wife.
